Exclusive details: ‘It has been a struggle for [our client] to even talk about it enough for us to be able to file this lawsuit on her behalf,’ attorney Quinton Seay told The Independent
The car has mechanical door handles in the front that at are so obvious people try to use them instead of the electrical ones.
The getting out isn’t the problem. If they were conscious after the crash, at least in the front, it would have been easy to get out unless the door was jammed which can happen after the crash.
The problem is people on the outside that cant potentially open it when its not jammed and the occupant is unconscious, or the backseat where its not obvious how to use the mechanical latch.
Edit: so in this crash it sounds like the driver was probably unconscious, or the door was jammed, both of which cause a deadly situation like this as outside rescues are much harder due to electronic locks.
Edit: and EVs catch on fire less than gas cars, this isnt an EV fire problem.
